Framing & Lumber Takeoff Software
Togal.AI is cloud-based framing takeoff software that measures every wall run off your drawings, then calculates the studs, plates, headers, and sheathing behind them using your own formulas. Whether you’re working with wood or light-gauge metal, Togal connects the takeoff to the material quantities you need for the estimate.
Framing takeoff software that gets you to a piece count up to 4X faster
A 60-foot wall at 16 inches on center buys a different bundle than the same run at 24, and Togal knows which one you drew.
What slows framing estimators down
A framing package runs from wall types to floor joists, roof trusses, and rafters, and most of it repeats until the bid date arrives.
The count lives one step past the measurement.
Legacy takeoff gives you linear feet. Every stud, plate, and sheet after that is a formula you maintain yourself, and drift in it costs money on every bid.
Heights are scattered across the set.
Plate height drives stud length and sheathing quantity, and it sits in a section or a detail rather than the plan you are measuring.
Typical units get traced dozens of times
Six apartment layouts across nine floors is the same assembly measured until the repetition itself becomes the risk.
Wall types change between issues.
A gauge or spacing revision buried in an addendum moves your piece count quietly.
How Togal gets from wall run to piece count
Measure walls with AI
Press the green Togal Button and the AI works through the sheets you point it at, returning the walls and spaces it detected. From there you review rather than trace: keep what belongs in scope, unclick what does not. The scope calls stay yours, which is how the estimator you are bringing along still learns to make them.
Calculate studs, plates, headers, and more
With Assemblies, you can apply your material and production formulas to classified walls as you measure. Togal then calculates the quantities associated with those walls.
Assemblies can account for:
Stud counts based on run length, spacing, and stud length
Top and bottom plate quantities
Headers, kings, and jacks
Sheathing
Blocking, bracing, and backing
Fasteners and connectors
Labor and equipment based on your production rates
Togal supports both wood and metal framing, and its team can help migrate existing assembly libraries from PlanSwift or On-Screen Takeoff.
One typical unit, placed across every floor
Repeating Groups takes off a master unit once and applies it everywhere that layout appears, so hundreds of identical units take less time than a single floor used to. Text, Image, and Pattern Search find the wall tag or detail callout you need to locate rather than measure.
Height problems surface before the lumber order
Togal’s 3D viewer gives you another way to review the geometry in your takeoff. See how walls and other measured elements relate to one another and catch potential issues before they make their way into your estimate. Drawing Comparison also helps you identify changes between drawing sets, so you can see what changed between the plans you originally priced and the latest revision.

From framing takeoff to estimate
Framing material takeoff software earns its seat at this handoff, where quantities leave in the shape your estimating software expects.
Excel
Exports carry calculated formula columns and cost codes, grouped by categories such as stud height, so purchasing works from the same file that priced the job.
Ediphi
Native integration, so quantities flow into the estimate without manual re-entry.
Zebel
Connects quantity and cost work, pairing your takeoff with historical cost data.
ServiceTitan
Integration built for trade contractors running the rest of the business there.
What else comes with Togal
Real-time collaboration
Split a package by building or floor and keep everyone in one live takeoff, with permissions per person and no coordination overhead at the merge.
Togal.CHAT
Ask your own set what gauge a wall type calls for or where a detail lives. Answers come from your drawings and stay there.
Cloud access on any device
Office, truck, or trailer laptop, always the current version, nothing to download or install.
Support from estimators
Custom onboarding and a support team that includes former construction estimators.
SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance
Access to your set is controlled and logged, which covers what a GC's IT group tends to worry about first.
Who Togal is built for
Framing, rough carpentry, and wall-and-ceiling contractors carrying a full-time estimator, plus general contractors whose framing division self-performs.
Payroll is the giveaway: if someone in your shop does takeoff as their job rather than after hours, the seat pays for itself faster. Work built from a wall type schedule and a stack of identical units suits it best, so multifamily, hospitality, and healthcare lead the list.

How framing takeoff software compares
Questions framing estimators ask
Does Togal work as wood framing takeoff software, or only metal stud?
Both. Assemblies templates cover wood and metal framing, and the measuring side treats them the same, since a wall run is a wall run until your assembly decides what fills it. The difference is in the formulas you apply.
Do I get a material list, or only measurements?
Both, in one pass. Classify a wall and Togal calculates the material, labor, and equipment attached to it from formulas you define. Exports include the calculated columns and cost codes.
What happens to the wall types and production rates we have refined for years?
You don’t have to start from scratch. Togal’s team can help migrate existing assembly libraries from PlanSwift or On-Screen Takeoff, including the formulas used in those assemblies. You can also start with an editable industry-standard template and customize it to your workflow.
How does this differ from a framing calculator or our estimating spreadsheet?
A calculator prices one wall you describe to it. Togal reads the whole set to measure dimensions on every run, then applies your assembly to each one, which removes the transcription step between the drawing and the math, along with a common source of error.
Can Togal handle a job that frames wood in one building and metal in another?
Yes. Assemblies apply per classification, so different wall types on the same project carry different material rules and stay grouped separately on export.
Where do our drawings sit, and who can open them?
Only people you invite, with permissions set per person. Bid documents stay inside that environment rather than going out to the open internet. Togal holds SOC 2 Type II certification and complies with GDPR.
